Tonight is the last round of blogs from our DT, if you have been following them over the last 6 months you will have seen some stunning projects and its so exciting to see my own designs & procured products used within them.

Tonight its Katie & Priya's turn to take centre stage and show you their projects, both with a steampunk theme.

Huge thanks to Katie for all the designs and shares over her time with me. Its fair to say she's a massive steampunk fan and its been fun to see what creations are coming next. 😁

1st up here's Katie, proving that you don't have to use browns & and blacks when making a steampunk project.

All the products used are at the bottom of the blog.

Its my last project for Artful Days and its been a lot of fun.

I started with a wooden box and painted it with gesso

Glue all the pieces onto the box and paint a few coats of black paint or gesso over the top.

Layer more pieces over the box lid and paint with black paint.

Once dry sprinkle on micro beads

Next use Lindy's Magicals to add the first layer of colour.

Paint the rest of the box with purple metallic paint.

Thanks Katie :)

Well tonight is Priya's last solo blog and once again its another inspiring project. Its stunningly simple in many ways, but the crackle gives it sooo much depth and texture, what a fabulous gift for someone special.

All the products used are listed at the bottom of the email.

Hello Crafty People

Today I have altered a Diary cover with a lot of AD products and the beautiful chipboards from Scrapiniec which have just been restocked in the web store.

Go and grab them before they are out stock again.....

You always don't need a lot of stuff to make a project.

You can simply choose a few amazing elements and make some delicate projects like this today.

For this project, I gave a coat of white gesso all over followed by a coat of crackle paste.

Once the crackle paste is dried, I sprinkled Chimney Smoke sprinkle mist all over.

Then I covered the Scrapiniec chipboard frame and butterfly metal charm with black gesso and glued on the dried cover.

Then I attached the spoon embellishment and the other two metal embellishments on top.

Finally I applied Old silver metallic wax with finger.

I hope you like my project.

Thanks Priya
